Comprehensive Foundation Repair Services
United Structural Systems is a trusted foundation repair contractor offering a full range of residential foundation repair services in Charleston. Our experts provide tailored solutions to address every type of foundation issue. We specialize in:
Bowing Wall Repair
Bowing or leaning foundation walls are a serious concern that can threaten the stability of your home. When performing bowing wall repairs, we use advanced techniques like carbon fiber straps, wall anchors, and steel support beams to stabilize and straighten walls that have shifted inward. This helps prevent further bowing and potential collapse, protecting your home’s structure and extending its lifespan.
Carbon Fiber Wall Support
For walls showing signs of stress or minor movement, carbon fiber wall support offers a minimally invasive solution. These high-strength, lightweight straps are installed directly onto the affected walls to provide continuous reinforcement. Carbon fiber support strengthens the wall and halts further deterioration while maintaining the wall’s appearance.
Foundation Crack Repairs
Foundation cracks can lead to water intrusion, pest infestations, and further structural damage. Our foundation repair experts will visit your property and perform an in-depth assessment. Once we’ve identified areas of trouble, we will recommend an appropriate course of action, which may include installing steel push piers or helical piers.
Foundation Settlement Repairs
When your home’s foundation settles unevenly, it can cause doors and windows to stick, cracks in walls, and uneven floors. United Structural Systems installs helical piers or steel push piers beneath the foundation to lift and stabilize your home. These piers transfer the weight of the structure to stable soil or bedrock, correcting settlement issues effectively.
Helical Pier Installation
Helical piers are screw-like steel shafts that are driven deep into stable soil layers to support and stabilize your foundation. This method is especially effective for homes experiencing foundation settlement or shifting soil. Installation is quick and minimally disruptive, providing reliable, long-lasting support.
Steel Push Pier Installation
Steel push piers are driven deep into the ground to stabilize the foundation by transferring the home’s weight to stable soil layers. This technique is ideal for heavier structures or cases where helical piers are not suitable. Steel push piers effectively halt foundation movement and prevent further damage.
Structural Support
Beyond specific repairs, United Structural Systems offers comprehensive structural support solutions to reinforce your entire foundation and floor system. This can include installing steel beams, braces, or adjustable floor supports to ensure your home remains stable and secure against shifting soils and other stresses.
No matter the issue, our team is here to restore your home’s integrity and value.
